Phone switch off when screen timed out

Hi,

I'm new to the forum. I have a chinese 5" tab cum dual sim phone branded as GAOLIN L5. The "Version" information:

BB Chip: MT6516

MS Board: bird16_a10y

IMEI1:

IMEI2:

Modem Ver.: MAUI.10A.W10.48.MP.V5.F1. 2011/01/27 16:48

Bar Code: 031400002704

Build Time: Fri Jun 24 11:18:08 EDT 2011

Uboot Ver.: 2010.06

Kernal Ver.: 2.6.32.9 (andrew@ubantu) (gcc version 4.4.0 (GCC) ) #1 Fri Jun 24 10:39:23 EDT 2011

Android Ver.: 2.2.1

SW Ver.: 10YW1048MP

The phone goes off whenever the screen is timed out (say display time out at 30 seconds, then the phone shut off automatically after 30 seconds). Even, if I press the power off button to turn off the display, the phone goes off and never switched on pressing the power button. To switch on the phone, I have to re-insert the battery and then press the power on button.

Please advice me how to set the screen time out and power on problem. thanks.

Hi Bruno,

I happily used the phone for about seven months.

Everything was great until I installed ROM Tool Box, and as soon I installed some larger system font, the phone died instant death. I've tried flashing tools but, by using half a knowledge combined with even lesser:silly: patience, the result is that now I can't even get to the new Android boot logo. Here are the ROM details:

MS Board: e1103_v73_hjy1ctp

UBoot Ver.: 2010.06

Kernel Ver.:

2.6.35.7 (root@wangligang-desktop) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #1 PREEMPT Mon Mar 19 12:30:44 CST 2012

Android Ver.: 2.3.6

SW Ver. : ALPS.GB.FDD2.MP.V4.5

Custom Build : 1332139481.

I'm fully prepared to make a donation to enable you to carry on your great work for the community. One also must pay for the foolishness.

Best,

Lev.

[HTC Sensation XL] cobbcobbdavid:
I am currently using XL and I am happy with current display. Does anyone know will HTC provide AMOLED in their coming product? Thanks
[HTC Sensation XL] diegomtoscano:
I don't think so..latest phone that will be out the HTC EDGE does not show an amoled in specs ..still they go with capacitive multi touch http://www.phonearena.com/phones/HTC-Edge_id6549
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
By the looks of it I think I would prefer the screen on the HTC Edge to an amoled screen...

http://www.phonearena.com/news/More...s-Super-LCD-2-with-optical-lamination_id23603
[HTC Sensation XL] TheiPhoneKiller:
htcs did start using AMOLED on the desire but because AMOLEDs are in high demand htc went over to S-LCD
[HTC Sensation XL] Sonnyhood:
The Sxl has lower power usage, whereas AMOLED is actually better quality images.

I find the display great, but when i compare to a friend Motorola RAZR i can see the clarity in his.

Though my battery is great so i cant complain.

I could be wrong about this, but thats my findings

[T-Mobile LG G2x] NekoNyapii:
My screen would not wake up, I flashed Cyanogen Mod, the latest version, but as soon as my screen goes off and I tried to wake it, it'll just stay in a lighted black screen forever, nothing happens, it wont wake or respond to buttons so I have to pull battery. It didn't happen on just this rom, I tried other roms as well. And same results, is it my phone or rom? I just got the phone today.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
Which rom are you running? And did you flash a custom kernel?

Try a complete wipe and reflashing, but don't restore any apps, if you do, and see if the problem persists.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NekoNyapii:
I was running the latest version of Cyanogenmod. And no, I did not flash a custom kernel. I've already tried a complete wipe and flashed the rom like so many times. Like Cyanogenmod would install, but as soon as I put the phone to sleep and I hit the home button to try to wake it, it would be stay as a lighted black screen. The phone is responding to the button but it seems like the screen would not go on, the light for the 4 buttons lights up, but the screen doesn't display anything, just backlight. Please help, this is confusing me. :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Set the phone to not sleep, it will just dim the light to near 0% brightness. I used to have this problem too on some nightlies and stable cm releases even and doing the above worked for me. I also bumped minimum cpu speed to 500-800 instead of 300, which lagged too much imho.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
You say you press the home button when you turn the screen off and the buttons light up? Or did you mean when you pressed the power button?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NekoNyapii:
When I press on the power button to wake it up, it just gives me a black screen. However the buttons light up when I touch them just the screen wont display anything.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
That happened to me once. Did you wipe "system" in CWM before installing the rom?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r3sidual:
Same Issue

Did you ever find a fix for this problem? My G2x just stopped coming on and I never changed any settings or anything. I've wiped davlik & user data; installed stock and custom roms, but every time the screen turns off the power button fails to wake the phone up. No lights flash or anything. I've found others who have the same problem but I haven't discovered any solutions. I'm guessing this must be a hardware problem since the power button does work to initially turn on the device and lock it but can't wake it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm currently running a rooted stock rom with the v21y BB that's been ICS-ified
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Kafluke:
I've found this issue to exist of literally EVERY build of CM that I've every used on ANY android device. I can't stand it. I finally stopped flashing CM all together because I hate not being able to wake up my device. NO OTHER ROM has done this before. Doesn't matter the model. Here's all the models that exibit this behavior that I've tested with.

Kindle Fire - CM9, CM10 and CM10.1

Galaxy 7 tab 2 - CM10, CM10.1 and CM10.2

Samsung Epic 4g (Galaxy S1) - CM7, CM9, CM10, CM10,1

Galaxy S3 Sprint- CM10, CM10.1

Galaxy S4 Sprint - CM10, CM10.1 and now CM10.2
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r3sidual:
That's very interesting. CM... I ended up sending the phone to LG to fix. I have a GS2 now so I gave the phone to my father. It runs great now.

sulotion to screen not waking up on cyanogenmod

I was having the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy note 2. I'm running cyanogenmod 11. I solved the issue by going into setting then display and lights and unchecking proximity wakeup. I hope this can help someone else.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wudangnic:
Thank you a lot man! I was really in panic mode.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jahirabbas86:
Not Waking up

This problem started once I have upgraded to official Lollipop. When I press the power button, the screen doesn't wake-up immediately. I had to press many times the power button to get the screen comes.
[Motorola Droid 3] MyNarwhalBacon:
If you are unhappy in the little support we have in terms of roms, and kernels for our device, blame Motorola for locking their bootloader. Moto claimed that they would unlock the bootloader at the end of 2011. What's the date today? Looks like they changed their mind. We would have a fully working ICS rom if it wasn't for Moto not to mention Hashcode would have more hair and it would have less gray in it... So sign the petition! If you are really passionate, like me, check out the original thread and help them out. If ASUS caved, so will Moto!

Do you have a link to this claim of unlocking bootloaders in late 2011? The best link I can see is http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/ which doesn't seem to say that.

In my 29 years I've never seen a company like moto actually give a poop about a petition.

Just sayin.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
I doubt it will work to but trying cant hurt =]
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
Petitioning got HTC and Asus to provide methods to unlock their bootloaders. It also got Verizon to recall that $2 bill paying fee. This IS the way to get companies of this size to do what you want, you have to provide them a real number of dissatisfied customers and a petition does just that.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
The best thing we could all do to get moto to listen up is make this our last purchase of a moto device until they offer them with unlocked bootloaders. This along with a few other issues have pretty much insured this is my last purchase of a motorola phone. Companies of this size are a lot more likely to do something to please customers if they start leaving in droves, they'll come up with an idea like ... unlocked bootloaders to attract new customers.
[Motorola Droid 3] gbarayah:
+1

I've signed the petition as well, but regardless of their future actions, I will never buy another Motorola product EVER again.

The only thing that will ever lead to any changes is if they see a drop in the bottom line.
[Motorola Droid 3] TBBle:
Okay, so MOTODEV's text is a little different. MOTODEV references "future software releases", while the AndroidPolice text references "across our portfolio of devices".

Of course, that difference only affects users who never get any future software releases, since they're not going to get an unlockable bootloader in a new software release if there is no new software release.

I dunno about you, but I haven't received any software releases in or since late 2011 that _didn't_ include an unlockable bootloader. I guess only the Bell XT860 users in this forum have had one such chance go by unaddressed.

Anyway, it's certainly as qualified a statement with a projected start date, which people seem to have mentally morphed into some kind of promise with a due date.

Nothing here that'd make me drop Motorola as a brand. That said, I _would_ choose a four-row keyboard device with an unlocked bootloader by preference. But not because of any promise or lack thereof of an unlocked bootloader in the ephemeral future.
[Motorola Droid 3] hemirunner426:
Looks like someone came across a factory unlocked RAZR.

http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/400-ap-fastboot-mode-se-says-device-is-unlocked/page__st__20

There may be a small possibility here.
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
Maybe this is Motorola's "plan" for providing an unlock solution. They're just going to send out one unlocked phone into the wild and we have to find it! It's kind of like the McDonalds monopoly game except when one person wins, we all win.
[Motorola Droid 3] knewdood:
I for one will not buy another motorola phone simply because of all the hype. Had they followed suite along with their competition and at least released current statements (or something) regarding the issue, I might have a different opinion. I purchased 2 d3's and 2 dx2's ASSuming we would be able to unlock these things. I have since ordered 4 G-Nex's to replace the moto's. They will be completely taken out of circulation simply because I can and it's my "right" as an american to do so. As you can probably tell, I'm pretty ticked off about it. It's nothing more than the principle of it that's got my feathers ruffled. We bought them, if we wish to void the warranty, that should be our business. I've signed the petition (#1654). Maybe it will help you guys out in the future. But I'm also of the opinion that moto doesn't care all that much for the small group of us that have a voice. I guess I don't have to support them as well.

[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
Indeed, seems more like a bait and switch and leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. I know they didn't really say they would be unlocking all their bootloaders or anything and the XOOM does seem like progress but I was hoping for a little more of a flood or something like s/e offers with a bootloader unlock offered on their websites for phones that are shipped sim-unlocked (operator allowing).
[Motorola Droid 3] rblanca:

Just saw on the dx2 thread that some moto employee is going to leak some files to Hascode for unlocking moto bootloaders! Hopefully this ist a hoax
[Motorola Droid 3] jellydroid13:
this sounds way to good to be true so i wouldn't bet money on it:)
[Motorola Droid 3] willdo7474:
Im definitely not betting on it, but I also wouldn't be surprised. I think a leak would be more likely than getting anything from moto, and only because vzw doesn't want them to unlock for whatever reason.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
It was a hoax
[Motorola Droid 3] ratman6161:
Straight from the horse's a...er mouth:

OK, was going to post the link to Motoroal's official statement, but the site won't let me post links. So I'll paste in the text instead:

"Bootloaders: It’s our plan to offer an unlockable/relockable bootloader, currently found on the Motorola XOOM, in future software releases starting later this year, where operator and channel partners will allow it. Going forward, check out MOTODEV, the Motorola developer network, for the latest information. "

This is from "The Official Motorola Blog" on motorola.com and is dated 10/24/2011. So it says "starting later this year" meaning that it would start to happen before the end of 2011, not that it was guaranteed to happen for all phones by the end of the year. Just saying...
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
but it's not like they have to do a lot to unlock the bootloaders for each individual phone or even write any new software at all, just release the engineering bootloader and tell verizon where to go and what to do once they get there if they don't like it. Like another user was saying, I'm really suprised and disappointed that Apple is the only manufacturer that has the balls to tell carriers how it is... Maybe things will get better with google in charge but ... didn't moto say in a press release like 8 weeks ago that they'd annouce which devices were getting ics over the next 6 weeks?
[Motorola Droid 3] e493956170:
we all know that's not possible unless motorola's boss 's head is knocked by door:D
[Motorola Droid 3] ratman6161:
Ahhh, if only it were so easy. Remember that you and I are NOT Motorola's customers; at least not directly. Motorola's customer is Verizon. And there are other manufacturers Verizon can and does buy from. It is a lot easier for Verizon to tell Motorola to stuff it than it is for Motorola to tell Verizon to stuff it. That is the reality of the wireless market in the US. The carriers have the power; or at least more power than the handset manufacturer's or even Google.

I have been hoping that Google + Motorola Mobility would = a stronger counter weight to the carriers, but in the end its actually the carriers that sell and support the phones. We still end up with the carrier standing between us and the manufacturer.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
They only have that power because the carriers and google allow it. It seems pretty easy for apple to say "you don't like the terms, don't carry our hardware". Instead we have motorola saying "ask your carrier" and the carrier saying "we're waiting for motorola to announce/release updates" on these locked down phones, everyone passes the buck. And really, even if motorola would announce releases on time(within the time frame they set for themselves) for their non-branded/international phones, even a few and say we'll be updating the list more in the future... Also with Bell after owning your phone for 15 days/30 minutes of talk time you basically have to go to the manufacturer for support instead of bell so ... I'm am a motorola customer who's phone has a bell sim in it imo.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Restassuared my next device will NOT be motorola. Htc is sounding pretty good to me lately
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
Samsung has always been pretty decent too. I mean go home, plug the phone into your computer and boot a custom kernel good.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Which is what I want. Something that has an unlocked bootloader and tons of dev(or easy to dev for). When I bought this it was mt first android and didn't know anything about flashing roms or locked bootloaders. I learned about it while trying to figure out why the battery life was such garbage
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
So just saw on twitter that moto is releasing a unlockable razr in europe, with a us version to follow shortly. It was on motodev briefly, got pulled, possibly because the date on it is tomorrow, someone jumping the gun. Probably won't help us much but its a start
[Motorola Droid 3] santimaster2000:
It's happening just like the last time with HTC, they struggle, they say that's a security risk, bla bla bla hackers, bla bla bla warranties, bla bla bla carriers, and, in the end, all that bs mathers zero, at this time, almost every f*cking HTC device it's unlockable. And the same will happen with Motorola, yeah, maybe first will just be the RAZR, but then the same will be done with the Bionic, the Droid 3, the Droid X2, and eventually, all the locked devices will be free to root, flash custom kernels, and customize to our heart contents !!!
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
In a perfect world I wonder what the odds would be that the Galaxy Nexus would be the last google + samsung collaboration for the new dev phone this year and that the next dev phone will be the Googarola etc. http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-08-16/tech/29991013_1_android-google-ceo-htc I'm sure there will be a lot of similar speculation in the market until google actually starts making some moves through motorola but I guess they could be the next "samsung", always on top of updates, releasing the newest OS before the source is even released etc. In a perfect world ofc.
[Motorola Droid 3] santimaster2000:
I'd rather have a Motorola Google Dev Phone, than another Samsung, I don't like the design, I don't want to have a third dev phone that looks almost exactly like the previous two.

Or maybe, a T-Mobile G3 XD And they can call the unbranded version the Dream X, or the Desire X.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
What a joke, instead of offering a software solution to unlock our devices, they released a new device, with NO warranty on it.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
Indeed, how motorola's bootloader unlock will work here Apparently motorola's solution if you want an unlocked BL is to buy a brand new (like brand new on the market) phone. Were there no international/sim unlocked/non-carrier d3/razr/bionic/etc shipped? Releasing 2 new phones, a EU dev phone now and planning an upcoming release of a NA model. If I owned a razr I would be pissed (not like the d3 with "omg d4 is coming out 9-12 months after the release of the d3!! QQ"), I mean really pissed.

I think that you may need to for some roms, but i think thats more to do with using the new radio as well.

RUU is for stock rom. if you want ICS on your phone flash custom rom there are many ICS roms available from early leak ics base.
[HTC Sensation] jamcomp:
I spoke to a representative at HTC the other day and asked them specifically about it. They told me that I should be looking for the release within the next couple of weeks due to the leaked RUU they are pushing up the release date.
